When I think of video games, I always see the Atari logo shining
brightly in the heavens like the legendary Holy Grail. In my
opinion, Atari made the home system what it is today. When I think of the hours I spent playing Superman, Haunted House, Asteroids, and every other cart I could get my mitts on... whew! I can remember the time when every one I knew had an Atari 2600 in their home. 
A superb find! I got three games and the unit complete in the box with docs for only $1.95 each. The unit itself plugs into the cart slot of the 2600, and the other plug goes to the headphone jack of any standard tape recorder. You rewind and then play the tape. As the program loads, bars fill in the screen from the sides and a tone plays, rising in pitch as the screen fills. The program loads very fast... which was a relief, as I remember loading programs from a recorder many years ago. So far, the best game is Rabbit Transit, which has a 'Frogger' part and a 'Qbert' part.
From what I know, this little controller came packaged with
Star Raiders. It looks like it can hold overlays, but I don't
know if any exist. I also don't know if any other games took
advantage of this device. It is about the size of one of those
old TI calculators, with 12 push buttons. Without instructions,
I can only guess, but it would seem to plug into game port two,
as port one has to have the joystick.
